Gay marriage: not revolutionary, just next

The story opens: “Opponents of same-sex marriage worry that allowing two men or two women to wed would radically transform a time-honored institution. But they’re way too late on that front. Marriage has already been radically transformed – in a way that makes gay marriage not only inevitable, as Vice President Biden described it in an interview late last year, but also quite logical.”

The Pink Triangle Trust (PTT) also published Gay & Lesbian Humanist magazine, more commonly known as G&LH. From 1994 to 2005, G&LH was a print-only magazine, and was published quarterly. From 2008 to 2010, G&LH it was published as an online-only magazine.

The Pink Triangle Trust

The views and opinions expressed here are not necessarily those of the Pink Triangle Trust, and are not to be construed as in any way indicative of the Trust's views or policies.

Individual contributors are encouraged to express their opinions, and these should not necessarily be construed as the opinions of other contributors.

The Pink Triangle Trust is a UK charity (number 1015629) set up in 1992 to advance the education of the public, and particularly of lesbians and gay men, in the principles and practice of Humanism, and to advance the education of the public, and particularly of Humanists, about all aspects of homosexuality.

See also Humanists Realm, the free, independent and impartial website for agnostics, atheists and enquirers about the Humanist ethical tradition.

Pink Triangle is a forum provided by the Trust for the discussion and interchange of ideas concerning Humanism as it relates to gay and lesbian issues, and how gay and lesbian issues relate to Humanism. But gay and lesbian issues and those concerning Humanism don't exist in a bubble: they are part of the wider world. Hence, there will be scope for broad discussion on these and related ethical issues.

This blog will feature news of relevant issues, with or without comment from the author, and hopes to generate lively discussion in the comments area. For more on the blog, see the “Welcome” post from March 2008.

Our commenting termsWhen leaving comments, please keep in mind the following, which you will also find above the comments area.

We welcome lively and challenging comments. However, please try to stay on topic, be polite and do not use abusive, racist or sexist language, and do not incite your readers to violence or other antisocial behaviour, or your comment will be deleted.

We do not bar anonymous comments at the moment, but we would prefer that those commenting play fair and used their name or at least a regular nom de plume. It does show a confidence in your convictions. We know, too, that it's easy to use a false name and be effectively anonymous, but, again, we appeal to your sense of good practice. Even a wacky nom de plume is better, since at least readers will come to know that contributor and maybe remember her or his previous comments.

Blatant commercial advertising will be removed.

Comments should not be construed as necessarily the policy or opinion of the Pink Triangle Trust.
